Western Belles Slot Review 2024

Western Belles

Western Belles is a slot which was designed by IGT, offering 5 reels and 40 paylines, with jackpots of up to $5,000, and with its major features being wild symbols, scatters and free spins.

The game is a bit of a mix between the world of westerns and a pin-up calendar. We get the kind of 40's and 50's design, with pin-up models used as wilds in the regular and bonus games. The overall design of the game is attractive, as it's usually the case with the retro design that characterized that era. A bit of the background image is visible, and it's the desert, an unforgiving place where many of the western movies that we love so much have taken place, and where the real history of the Wild West happened. The reels looks like they're made out of paper, with the decorations all around them being made out of wood. The symbols begin with the card icons, six of them total (9 to A), after which we get the two pin-up models which are used as wild reels, boots, hats, the red lipstick wild and the two cowboy girls.

The wagers per line begin at $0.01, and go up, with $5 being the upper limit. Since the game has 40 paylines, the maximum bet is $200. If the player wants to activate the wild reels feature, he bets 200 coins, instead of 40. The game's big prize is 1000 coins, with the maximum value being $5,000.

The wild reel is one of the features that the game includes, but the player has to pay extra for it. Instead of paying 40 coins, he has to wager 200, but he has one guaranteed random wild reel during each spin. If it's a free spin round, there are two random wild reels in play. These wild reels can have bonus symbols on them as well.

The wild reel and the individual red lipstick wild serve as the two wild features of the game, so they can take the place of any other symbol, with the usual exception of the bonus.

The bonus symbol can only appear on the three reels from the game's middle area, and they will award to the player 5 spins for free, plus a prize of 2x the bet, if all three are present. The free spins come with a different type of wild, but other than that it's pretty much the same as a regular round.

It's an enjoyable game, especially for those that have an appreciation of the retro design of the first half of the 20th century.
